In 2009, the Plurinational State of Bolivia received a grant from the South-South Experience Exchange Facility to sponsor an international dialogue and comparison of anti-poverty programs in developing countries. The dialogue's goal was to share innovative ideas and policies and compare experiences to improve the design, implementation and effectiveness of such anti-poverty programs as conditional cash transfers (CCTs) and Community Driven Development (CDDs) Programs. There was also interest in getting acquainted with systems of planning, monitoring and evaluation of social programs. With these grant funds, Bolivian policy makers established links with their counterparts in Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico through a series of videoconferences and country-to-country visits. In support of this knowledge exchange, World Bank staff members hosted and monitored the virtual meetings in the Global Distance Learning Network (GDLN) videoconference facilities and organized government staff visits to La Paz and Mexico City.
